“My father, my grandfather, my great grandfather, my uncles and great uncles were all born in Jerusalem and lived in the same neighborhood for more than 700 years. Neither Trump nor any U.S. president can erase our history with a stroke of a pen”.

The Palestinian Resistance Support Committee in Palestine distributed a special poem on the occasion of Jerusalem International Day, as a contribution to the revival of Jerusalem International Day and in support of the Palestinian cause.

A massive rally was held Friday in Damascus starting from al-Hamidiyeh market to the Umayyad Mosque marking the 38th anniversary of International al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day.

The participants in the event stressed the need to unite the energies of the nation against the Israeli occupation and the United States, pointing out that there is no alternative to the liberation of Palestine, the restoration of all holy sites and the return of refugees to their homes.

The participants also paid tribute to the heroic captives in the Israeli occupation prisons and their legitimate resistance by all means, stressing full support for their rights until they are freed from the grip of the occupation. They also saluted the heroes of Palestinian Intifada………….

Millions of people are taking to the streets across Iran and other world countries Friday to show their solidarity with the Palestinians and condemn Israel’s decades-long occupation and atrocities. The rallies are held to mark Quds Day, which falls on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Iranian protesters are marching on the streets of Tehran on Friday, June 23, on Al-Quds Day, showing solidarity with Palestine. Al-Quds day, which falls on the last Friday of the month of Ramadan, is an annual event firstly introduced in 1979 by late Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, as a day of protest against Zionism and Israel’s control of Jerusalem. Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem, and thousands, including Iranian government officials, take place in the yearly rally…………..

ISIS is a criminal organization which was created, and is used, by the USA. As for Syria, it was not only the intervention of Russia, which in any case came after a number of years of war. It was also the ability of the Assad government to defend itself, in particular by securing the economic viability and nutritional sufficiency of Syria but also by forging an army capable of defending its country. This is emphasized by Leila Khaled, leading cadre of People’s Front for the Liberation of Palestine, in the following interview.

The People’s Front (PFLP) is, after Fatah, the second most powerful grouping in the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). It has its headquarters in Damascus and is the most important organization of the Palestinian Left, with more combative positions than those of Fatah. We took advantage of Leila Khaled’s recent visit to Athens, where she participated in the festival “Resistance”, organized by the newspaper “Dromos tis Aristeras” (Left Road) to obtain from first hand, the judgements of one of the centres of the Palestinian movement, on the dramatic developments that are now unfolding in all of the Middle East.

A terrorist for the Israelis, Khaled was a symbol throughout the world for the Palestinian armed struggle, following her participation in one of the four simultaneous hijackings of September 1970, inspiring songs, films and works of art internationally… … …

First the “liberation” of Manbij. Now the manufactured worldwide outrage over 5-year old Omran Daqneesh aka “The Orange Seat Boy”, aka “The Aleppo Ambulance Boy”, aka “The Miracle Boy Who Survived A Russian (or was it a ‘regime’?) Air Strike”. So many lies to debunk against the Syrian Arab Republic, so little time. Let’s get on with it though, shall we?

Manbij wasn’t “liberated” as liberation can only come at the hands of Syrians who fight in the name of preserving Syrian sovereignty and pluralism, not Imperialists and traitors who fight in the name of ethnic chauvinism and an American-‘Israeli’ destabilization agenda.

All that took place in Manbij was one covert US-Zionist proxy–ISIS–happened to get replaced with an overt US-Zionist proxy–the Syrian Democratic Forces led by the treacherous PYD/YPG.

Let us also not forget to note that it was the American regime and its French colonialist pals that have slaughtered hundreds of Syrian civilians in and around Manbij over the last several weeks with zero, yes, ZERO international outcry.

But the murderers, invaders and terrorists are liberators now?! Enough!

What this really is, on the surface level, is a move orchestrated to give the US-founded fake “anti-ISIS” coalition a public relations “victory” and make it appear as if a “fight against terrorism” is actually being carried out.

And on a subterranean level, the “liberation” of Manbij took place to give collaborationist Kurdish forces a strong foothold in a key northern Syrian area so they can push forward with their ‘Israeli’-birthed Federalization/”Rojava”/Partition agenda.

This is confirmed by the latest PYD/YPG aggression–launched because the Kurds felt emboldened by their “success” on the Manbij front–in Hasakah City that was thankfully repelled by the Syrian Arab Army…. … …

The purpose of sharing it is to convey the complexities of the Syrian conflict.

The photojournalist behind the viral images of ‘the boy in the ambulance‘, which continue to make headlines around the world, has been identified by the Associated Press (AP) as Mahmoud Raslan (also spelled Rslan). His photo of a shell-shocked boy who barely survived an airstrike in Aleppo has captured the hearts and emotions of millions and conveyed a powerful momentary glimpse into the senseless and horrific devastation endured by Syria’s innocent children. But while some praise Raslan, he appears to have some horrific skeletons in his own closet.

Raslan’s social media history reveals a bizarre twist, which demonstrates the ironies and complexities of the Syrian conflict. The photographer has posted photos of himself posing with known child-killers from another recent viral moment: the infamous filmed beheading of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy captured in Aleppo by the ‘Zenki’ militant group.

The Palestinian boy, filmed surrounded by his Zenki executioners in the back of a pick-up truck just prior to his beheading, had been reportedly removed from a hospital and had intravenous lines (IV) attached to him.

On 5 August, about two weeks after the public beheading committed by unmasked men whose identities were made clear by the camera, Mahmoud Raslan uploaded a selfie with two men who had apparently been among those carrying out the shocking execution on his Facebook page… … …

Foreign and Expatriates Ministry sent on Wednesday two identical letters to the UN Secretary General and Head of the Security Council on the terrorists’ slaughtering of a Palestinian boy in Aleppo.

A videotape emerged online on Tuesday showing terrorists of the so-called “Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement” cutting off the head of a 12-year-old Palestinian child in a camp hosting Palestinian refugees near Aleppo city.

The letters added that terrorists of “Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement” which is classified by some states as “armed moderate opposition” slaughtered last Tuesday in cold blood the 12-year-old Palestinian child publicly and in front of a crowd of people and cameras.

The ministry affirmed that the government of the Syrian Arab Republic condemns the immoral and inhuman crime committed by Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement, backed by the regimes in Riyadh, Doha, Ankara and the US administration and other Western countries which still name these groups as “moderate opposition groups” and still support them with money and weapons despite of their crimes against civilians like Jaish al-Fatah, Jabhat al-Nusra, Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement, Jaish al-Islam and many others.

People in Iran and across the world are set to hold rallies on the international Quds Day in solidarity with the people of Palestine. The rallies coincide with the last Friday of the fasting month of Ramadan. Quds Day is an annual event to raise public awareness about the plight of Palestinians and their struggle against Israel.

Syrian Arab Army and Palestinian Resistance Forces Kick Off Operations to Win Back Yarmouk Camp

The Syrian army and Palestinian resistance forces paved their way into the Palestinian Yarmouk refugee camp in the Southwestern part of the capital, Damascus, on Sunday to push out the ISIL Takfiri terrorists who are controlling the camp.

The army units and Palestinian resistance forces struck ISIL’s military positions along Loubya and Safad streets, killing several Takfiri terrorists after a series of fierce clashes near the Tadamon region inside the camp.

Later, the Syrian army advanced in Tadamon region, seizing a number of building blocks at the Palestine street border.

An army officer underlined that the close cooperation between the Syrian army and Palestinian resistance forces will finally drive out the ISIL terrorists from the Yarmouk camp.

An honest Jew journalist and filmmaker, Max Blumenthal, outline the horrors produced by the Zionist entity in Gaza.“To understand the Gaza strip, to understand why this is happening, you must understand Zionism, you have to understand how the ethnically exclusivist Zionist state is maintained”, Blumenthal said.In this first-hand report on the July 2014 eruption of the decades-old Israel-Palestine conflict, Blumenthal looks closely at the political causes and the human consequences of fifty-one days of Israeli assaults on Gaza. The operations claimed 2,200 lives—mostly Palestinian, including 500 children—and displaced some 300,000. We have to hear and see, not to forget the origin and cause of the Resistance, which has also produced the 5 years of war in Syria…and still threatens all peoples of the Middle East…and beyond …

When people’s schools, hospitals and mosques are purposefully bombed, when an illegal blockade strangles their economy, when they are deprived of electricity and water and when their homes and places of worship are taken over brutally, it is no wonder they will resist and fight against those committing those acts. With this rash of summary executions of Palestinian youths, seemingly sanctioned by the state

Two 17-yo Palestinian boys were shot dead by Israeli forces in separate incidents amid clashes in the West Bank incited by the death of an 18-month-old child in a suspected Jewish arson attack on a Palestinian village.

Laith Fadel al-Khaladi, 17, was reportedly shot in the chest by an Israeli sniper near Bir Zeit, north of Ramallah in the central West Bank. The teen later died from his injuries at a hospital, the Palestinian Ma’an News Agency quoted medical sources as saying.

Al-Khaladi is said to have been shot during anti-Israeli protests in the area, sparked by the deadly “price tag” attack in Kafr Duma.

Six other Palestinians were injured in clashes erupting during arson-related protests in the West Bank and Jerusalem on Friday, Haaretz reported.

One Palestinian was shot in the leg during protests in the West Bank city of Hebron; four others were wounded after police resorted to tear gas and rubber bullets against about 30 stone-throwers in the city of Halhul. One more Palestinian was injured with a rubber bullet in Kfar Kadum.

The colonial Zionist entity, by the so called ‘Planning and Building Committee’ issued permits for the construction of more than 900 settler units in different parts of the Palestinian occupied territory.

The Zionist occupationl has demolished hundreds of Palestinian homes as part of its settlement expansion projects.

Tel Aviv is now planning to displace hundreds of Palestinians as it’s pushing for the demolition of their homes in the village of Sussiya to build settlements.

Commissioner-General of The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) Pierre Krähenbühl affirmed that the aim of his visit to Damascus and holding dialogue with the Syrian government is to find ways to improve and continue aid offered by the organization to the civilians in Yarmouk camp.

The government in Damascus and the Syrian Army are the solution of the problem, the armed gangs of mercenaries-terrorists armed and financed by the U.S.A. and allies are the real problem, a problem that the U.S. and allies created and now they do not want to resolve, but take advantage and ride on it for their geopolitical interests, regardless of the damages, destructions, pains, bereavements, horrors, that their criminal policy of destabilization and global war creates to the nations and people, both those who are the direct target, and those that belong to the countries of U.S. and allies themselves.

Video by PressTV which takes up the Syrian Arab Army that, with the enthusiastic cooperation of the local population, cleans the Palestinian al-Yarmouk Camp (outskirts of Damascus) by terrorists and mercenaries who have infiltrated and infested it.

Two years ago, end of April 2013, the Syrian Arab Army Forces cleaned al-Yarmouk camp from the presence of mercenary gangs and different groups of Obama’s ‘moderate terrorists’.

Today, end of April 2015, thanks to the USA & ally’s help to the jihadists-anarchists gangs, and thanks to the weakness and corruption of some sectors of the Palestinian resistance, the Syrian Arab Army Forces must redo the job.

No problem, but this time the work will be more radical, and al-Yarmouk will be the tomb for many sewer rats and jihadis apes…in memory, for future sewer rats and jihadis apes…

Would King David want Jerusalem cleared of Palestinians?
(by Nadezhda Kevorkova on RT, Photos by SFP)

At the foot of Al-Aqsa the struggle ensues over every house. If this neighborhood is called Silwan, the Palestinians have a chance of staying. But if it’s named after King David, their chances are nil.

If you don’t want to know anything about the hard life Palestinians are leading in Jerusalem, you won’t find out even if you visit the Holy Land dozens of times. Most tourist guides talk about Jerusalem like the Palestinians are not there at all, and if they are, they are nothing but an unfortunate part of the landscape.

But if you do want to find out about how Palestinians live in Jerusalem you needn’t go far: The Silwan neighborhood is right there at the foot of the Al-Aqsa Mosque… … …

Palestinians living in Syria have joined other Palestinian factions in their fight against the Daesh (ISIL-ISIS Takfiri terrorists) in the Yarmouk refugee camp in southern Damascus.

The Palestinian Factions’ Alliance condemned on Sunday the contradictory statements of the Palestine Liberation Organization(PLO) about the latest events in Yarmouk Camp and the alliance retracting earlier statements about its coordination with Syrian government in the fight against ISIS.

The media center of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) announced that a number of its forces have entered the camp and plan to retake it from the terrorists.
Other news sources also reported that hundreds of fighters of the Palestinian Fath movement residing in Lebanon have come to Syria to defend the Yarmuk camp against the ISIL.
The development came after a group of 14 Palestinian Arab factions announced in recent days that they backed a joint military operation with the Syrian government to expel the ISIL terrorists from the Yarmuk neighborhood in South of Damascus.

It is within the single context of trading in other people’s human lives for personal financial gain that the volte face by Abbas Fatah and the long treacherous behaviour of the ‘political’ Hamas faction of Meshaal, Haniyeh and Marzouk in Yarmouk in Syria can be seen.

Both Fatah and the Hamas faction led by Meshaal, Haniyeh and Marzouk are not only entirely discounted as supporting any resistance whatsoever to NATO, but are the worst kind of traitors towards their fellow human being.

People can no longer insult people’s intelligence by trying to pretend that Meshaal and Co are any better being slaves to their Qatari masters and NATO puppets petrodollar because that the NATO War on Syria does not “involve” the global civilian population.

It is not just in Yarmouk in Syria that the traitorous Qatari backed Meshaal-Haniyeh-Marzouk faction of Palestinian Hamas have been illegally operating, but also in Idleb and other parts of Syria, where they fight side by side with al-Nusra and similar terrorist gangs.

And…once again the losers in foul Palestinian ‘politics’ are Palestinian people’s lives…

Syrian government helped “Hamas” for decades, and had suffered sanctions because of that in the first place. They supported them, and gave them safe haven when every other Arab nation refused. They trained them how to make underground tunnels to fight Israel as a resistance movement. Then, the “Arab Spring” started, and the leaders of “Hamas”… changed loyalties, thanks to the temptation of the money of Qatar; the allurement of the Great Neo-Ottoman Erdogan; and… … …

The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) says it has no intention to join Syrian troops in driving out the ISIL terrorists occupying Yarmouk refugee camp near the Syrian capital, Damascus.

In a statement released by the PLO from its headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, senior PLO officialو Wasel Abu Yousefو said the organization will not get involved in military operations in Syria.

The situation in Yarmouk (if not in all the region) is so surrealistic, that I neither can imagine nor describe without feeling I’m drunk or having a drug shot and hallucinating. It’s all look like gibberish for me.

So, Syrian government helped “Hamas” for decades, and had suffered sanctions because of that in the first place. They supported them, and gave them safe haven when every other Arab nation refused. They trained them how to make underground tunnels to fight Israel as a resistance movement.

Then, the “Arab Spring” started, and the leaders of “Hamas”, who are “Muslim Brotherhood” in origin, changed loyalties, thanks to the temptation of the money of Qatar; the allurement of the Great Neo-Ottoman Erdogan; and the glamour of ruling the whole Middle East starting with Egypt and Tunesia (by their fellows MB).

They thought that they became a Super Power that doesn’t need the Iranian aid anymore, nor the Syrian haven, nor Hezbollah’s training. It would be way better if they just left Syria when it needed friends to stay with it in such crisis time, or if they just became neutralized and didn’t join neither the government nor the rebels.

… … … Everyone though know that no other one but the notorious Khaled Mish’al, one of the main heads of Hamas, who lived in Syria for more than a decade, and who is living today in Qatar, was the one who created the ABM!… … …

Syrian president didn’t want to be involved in a war against any Palestinian movement, because he didn’t want history to say that he did for once killed a Palestinian refugee. They were defending Damascus city when it’s necessary, and they preferred other loyal Palestinian movements to do the work (a minor scale proxy war? So be it).

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) said any decision about the terrorists-besieged Yarmouk Camp neighborhood will be coordinated with the Syrian government.

Terrorists, mostly from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), in cahoots with Jabhat al-Nusra, entered the neighborhood recently and have been committing terror acts against its inhabitants, which include Palestinian refugees and Syrian citizens.

Any future steps to be taken in Yarmouk Camp will be coordinated between Syria and the Palestinians, Member of the PLO Executive Committee Ahmed Majdalani told a press conference on Thursday.

When Meshaal handed over the keys to Yarmouk in Damscus to the NATO mercenaries from the FSA et al before going to hide out in Qatar he never imagined that the Syrian government might survive the NATO onslaught.

Now the Syrian government has thus far survived, and true resistance to NATO is ever more apparent, the traitorous snake Meshaal has found it necessary to give an outward appearance he is trying to ingratiate himself back into the fold of the true axis of resistance to NATO, without thus far much success.

All the propaganda in the world cannot gloss over the fact that it is NATO who Meshaal & Co all support, who are the Genocidal occupiers in the Middle East, not the true axis of resistance to NATO from Iran, the Syrian government and Hezbollah along with now the Houthis in Yemen.

No sooner was the Hamas ‘media’ chief in Beirut uttering the weasel words last month, that Meshaal and Co wanted to “mend their ties” with Syria, by errr…taking control of Yarmouk all because of Syria’s “geographical” location, not Syria’s true resistance to NATO, than up popped Meshaal’s Qatari friends ‘Islamic State’ buddies… … …

By Ziad Fadel, SyrianPerspective ~ If any liberation movement resembled a financial shakedown it is the Palestinian Liberation Movement. No matter what Palestinians say about themselves; the overly-ostentatious clamoring for unearned respect because, as they say, they have the highest per-capita educational level in the world and the most notable achievements in self-victimization of anyone from Native Americans, Armenians, Jews to Crimean Tatars.

From the very beginning of the tragedy, the Palestinian Liberation Movement was subsumed by the grander Arab Liberation Movement led by charismatic demagogues like Jamaal ‘Abdul-Naasser of Egypt and Houari Boumeddienne of Algeria until the bankruptcy of nationalism was laid bare in the debacle of June 1967 when the Palestinians realized there was no real hope of ever returning to their homeland, at a minimum, or liberating it completely, at a maximum.

At every turn, Palestinians shrugged off Syrian efforts to bring the revolution into the mainstream of Arab nationalist thinking.

There were times when Palestinians, for reasons which can only be ascribed to stupidity or sectarianism, actually sought out conflict with the only Arab nation whose commitment to Palestine was unassailable.

The Syrian Army has now surrounded the camp, that maneuver made all the more easy by the evacuation of terrorists from Al-Hajar Al-Aswad. One of the reasons for this attack was information received by the rodent terrorists that the Palestinians had made some kind of pact amongst each other to remove the last remnants of the nihilist cannibals from their midst.

The rats would have none of this and decided to make Palestinian life even more miserable than anything the Lebanese Maronite Right had done or its patrone, the Zionist Abomination.

“In Yarmouk, there are many different armed groups. They do not want solutions. Nusra Front implements a foreign agenda just like ISIL. Nusra Front along with other extremists are the ones who facilitated the entry of ISIL from Hajar al-Aswad (district), into the camp,”
said Abu Kefah Ghazi, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC), in an interview with Press TV inside the camp.

Residents of the terrorism-torn Yarmouk Camp in Damascus have been fleeing the neighborhood under incessant attacks by terrorists of DAESH (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra.

Up to 2000 people have fled in the past two days, who were moved to government-run makeshift centers in the al-Tadamun and al-Zahira neighborhoods.

The latest of such crimes took place yesterday, where terrorists killed and decapitated 5 people and shot dead two young men under the residents’ eyes.

In two identical letters to the UN Secretary-General and head of the UN Security Council, the ministry pressed the international community to pressure Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel and Jordan which support terrorists to get them out of the camp and save the lives of the residents.

The Syrian government has spared no effort, in cooperation with UNRWA and other international organizations, to deliver humanitarian aid to the locals inside the camp

ISIS offensive is intended to expel the locals and abort a national reconciliation agreement in the camp that was due to be signed Friday, the ministry said, warning that it puts at risk the lives of Palestinians and Syrians inside the camp.

Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah delivered Friday a speech in which he tackled a number of issues, on top of which is the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen.

To the Saudi regime, Sayyed Nasrallah said:

“You and your allies came with “ISIL” in order to overthrow the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria and Maliki in Iraq.”

“If the objective is to rescue the Yemeni people, why did you abandon the Palestinian people for decades? Why did you betray them? If the objective is to restore legitimacy in Yemen, why didn’t you seek that for Palestine?”

“The Saudis supported six wars to eradicate Yemen. However, you were defeated.”

“It is required to shed the Yemeni blood because the Saudi King lost control over Yemen. The real reason to this aggression is that Saudi Arabia has lost its hegemony and bets in Yemen and lost hope in its takfiri groups. It has sensed that Yemen is now for its people and this war aims to regain hegemony over Yemen.”

The Settlement Minister in the Palestinian Authority (PA), Ziad Abu Ein, died after a confrontation with Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) during a West Bank protest, witnesses and medics said. President Mahmoud Abbas called Abu Ein’s death a “brutal act”.

Ahmed Bitawi, the director of the Ramallah hospital, told AFP Abu Ein “was martyred after being beaten in the chest.”

Mahmoud Aloul, another leading member of the Fatah movement, told AP the incident occurred when he and Abu Ein joined dozens of protesters carrying olive tree saplings during a protest against land confiscations near the West Bank village of Turmus Aya.

Abu Ein was in charge of a Palestinian Authority department, whose work concerned Israeli settlements and the Israeli separation barrier. Previously, he served as deputy minister for prisoner affairs.

Abu Ein’s death follows violent overnight clashes near Shilo, an Israeli settlement in the northern West Bank located 28 miles (45km) north of Jerusalem.

The IOF troops (Israeli Occupation Forces, SFP note) did nothing to stop Israeli settlers from attacking Palestinian villagers, according to videos released by the Yesh Din rights group, showing soldiers pointing guns at Palestinians while Israelis are throwing stones from behind their backs.

In the three amateur videos released by the Yesh Din human rights group, the IOF soldiers appear to be protecting the masked Jewish settlers from Yitzhar during their confrontation with Palestinians in the village of Urif in the West Bankon Tuesday.

At least 13 Palestinian citizens were nabbed by the Israeli forces at dawn Wednesday following a series of abrupt combing operations, home-raids and abduction campaigns launched across the West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem.

Local sources said the Israeli forces stormed Berkin, West of Jenin, overnight and raked through the town, PIC reported.

The attack culminated in a series of home-raids targeting at least 11 Palestinian family houses and the abduction of a Palestinian civilian. A number of Palestinian citizens were provocatively interrogated in the process.

Eye-witnesses reported that the Israeli forces rounded up Palestinian youth Ahmad Sami Ghanam, 23, following an assault on his family house.
